While these images are blurry, its easy to make out that the 2016 Fortuner has opted for a revolutionary design approach with a Lexus-inspired front fascia on one end and a 'floating roofline' at the other.

The center console is vertically stacked, and should include a 7-inch display, while parts like the steering wheel and controls for the automatic climate control system are expected to be shared with the Toyota Hilux Revo.
